Beautiful trail, easy to walk

Beautiful nature, lovely paths (requires some stamina, some parts go uphill). Great landscapes and a river, that reminds me of the mountain rivers

If you go by car recommended by Waze or Google Maps, be wary of a quite steep driveway to the parking, as the gravel road has very many potholes! Other than that, the track has a lot of beautiful views and stairs, so bring a water bottle with you and of course some food to enjoy the beautiful scenery and to wind down.

Good path for a walk, includes mounds path in the woods and big greens. With a couple of open spaces for scenery shots and benches for a sandwich pitstop. It is not long, but might be a bit tricky if you are not steady on your feet because some spots near the river are slippery. Also path is not even. It does not require special gear but pay attention!

Wieskirche

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the municipality of Steingaden.

The sanctuary of Wies is a pilgrimage church extraordinarily well-preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, and is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.

The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary.
